Worth getting out of bed for
The hotel is activity central – they’ll organise biking, kayaking, volleyball, petanque, horse riding, sailing, jet skiing, tennis, golf, fishing – and straightforward beach lounging, of course. There are morning yoga classes during peak season, and more relaxation in the form of an in-room massage (around $150 an hour) and some shopping in the hotel’s very own designer boutique right on the doorstep. Or leave the island and take the seven-minute ferry ride across to the Hamptons’ other towns. Sag Harbor, Southampton and East Hampton are the main ones to tick off.
